Proverbs 2:15 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 2:15

Whose ways [are] crooked
Which swerve from and are not agreeably to the rule of the divine word, either the law of God or the Gospel of Christ; sin is an aberration, a straying from the rule of God's word, a transgression of his law; and a walk in it is unbecoming the Gospel of Christ; it has many serpentine windings and turnings in it; full of distortions and excursions, and many retrograde actions; see ( Psalms 125:5 ) ( Isaiah 59:8 ) ; and [they] froward in their paths;
declining here and there, sometimes going one way and sometimes another, but always following that which is evil, and resolute to continue therein.

Proverbs 2:15 In-Context

13 those who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in ways of darkness,

14 those who are happy to do evil, [for] they delight in [the] deviousness of evil,

15 {who are crooked in their ways}, and devious in their paths;

16 [in order] to deliver you from a strange woman, from a foreign woman [who] flatters [with] her sayings,

17 she who forsakes the partner of her youth and has forgotten the covenant of her God,
